This series is set in The Maison de Ayakashi, a luxury apartment block for those whose ancestors included demons; each of them has a secret service body guard. From that basic premise one might expect this to me a series with lots of magical battles and evil enemies... you'd be wrong if you thought that though; this is a fairly gentle comedy with a romantic main story line. The protagonist is Ririchiyo, a teenaged girl whose protector is Soshi, he is descended from a mythical nine-tailed fox. Their personalities couldn't be more different; she hides her shyness by being harsh with everybody and he is so desperate to please her that he is almost obsequious. Over the course of the series it becomes clear that she has feelings for him but it seems impossible that she will find away of expressing them. The other characters are an entertaining bunch which includes a self-styled delinquent who turns into a cute tanuki (Japanese raccoon dog) Ririchiyo's 'fiancé' Kagero who believes everything is either sadistic or masochistic and Zange, a character who doesn't appear to take anything too seriously.
I rather enjoyed this series; at only twelve episodes it did not outstay its welcome; in fact I wouldn't have minded if it had been longer. The characters are an entertaining bunch that provided plenty of chuckles. While it was fairly obvious that by the end Ririchiyo and Soshi would end up together there were some twists and turns along the way that made it seem possible that they wouldn't. The comedy is fairly gentle with little to offend and there isn't too much fan service... although some viewers may think Nobara, the large chested blonde girl crosses the line a few times! Overall this is a fun series which is well worth watching if you want something fairly light to pass the time.
